Quick Summary

  • AI plan review works in any country, with any building code system—US, UK, EU, Australia, Middle East, India
  • Supports drawings in any language—English, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Mandarin, and more
  • Upload local codes as custom standards for jurisdiction-specific compliance checking
  • Data confidentiality: documents are not used for AI training, with options for zero-retention

International construction firms manage projects across multiple countries, each with different building codes, languages, and regulatory frameworks. A 200-person architecture and construction firm working on hospitality projects in the Middle East asked: "Does this work outside the US?" The answer is yes—and here's how AI plan review adapts to global construction workflows.

Works in Any Country

AI plan review isn't limited to US building codes. The platform checks drawings against whatever code system applies to your project:

Global Code Support

United States

IBC, CBC, FBC, NFPA, ADA, Title 24, local amendments

Middle East

Dubai Municipality codes, Abu Dhabi UPC, Saudi SBC, Qatar QCS

Australia & New Zealand

NCC (BCA), AS standards, state-specific requirements

UK & Europe

Building Regulations, Eurocodes, BS standards

India

NBC India, IS standards, state-specific building rules

Canada

NBC, provincial codes (OBC, BCBC), CSA standards

You can also upload local codes, municipal amendments, or client-specific standards as custom reference documents. The AI checks your drawings against whatever standards you provide—not just a pre-loaded code library.

Multi-Language Support

Construction drawings come in every language. AI plan review processes drawings regardless of the language used for annotations, notes, schedules, and specifications:

  • Arabic: Common for Middle East projects (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar)
  • Russian: Used for projects in Russia and CIS countries
  • Mandarin/Cantonese: For projects in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
  • Hindi: Indian construction documents
  • Spanish: Latin America and some US projects
  • French, German, Japanese: And any other language

The AI identifies text in any language, understands construction terminology across languages, and produces the issue report in English (or your preferred language) regardless of the source document language.

Sustainability and Green Building Codes

International projects increasingly require sustainability compliance. AI can check against green building standards when provided as reference documents:

  • LEED: Cross-check design elements against LEED prerequisite requirements
  • BREEAM: UK and international sustainability standards
  • Green Star: Australian green building rating system
  • Estidama: Abu Dhabi's Pearl Rating System
  • GRIHA: India's Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment

Data Confidentiality for International Firms

International firms are especially sensitive about document confidentiality—projects may involve government facilities, high-security buildings, or proprietary designs. InspectMind's data handling addresses these concerns:

Security & Privacy

  • Files encrypted on AWS and deleted on request—your plans stay yours
  • Zero-retention mode available—documents processed then deleted, only issue report remains
  • Role-based access controls—project owners control who sees results
  • NDA and custom data handling agreements available for enterprise customers

Sharing and Permissions

International projects involve teams across multiple offices and countries. InspectMind supports collaborative workflows:

  • Invite by email: Share plan check results with specific team members or consultants
  • Role-based access: Control who can view, comment, or manage projects
  • No per-seat fees: Unlimited team members can access shared projects
  • Excel export: Export issue lists for distribution to consultants who don't use the platform
